AVerMedia TVBox Snags OTA HD

AVerMedia’s AVerTV Hybrid TVBox 11 adds over-the-air HD and a way to hook other A/V components to your PC setup.

The AVerTV Hybrid TVBox 11 promises both analog and digital HDTV for your PC.

AVerMedia just announced another box for all of you PC entertainment lovers out there. The AVerTV Hybrid TVBox 11 promises theater-like quality for your PC or projector, all from a compact package.

The company says that the TVBox tuner turns any display or projector into a multimedia hub. In what way? Well, the unit does deliver over-the-air analog and digital HDTV. It’s also got an S-Video/component 2-in-1 cable, to connect other devices, such as game consoles, DVD players, and camcorders.

One of the TVBox 11’s highlights is picture-in-picture, so you can watch TV while you “work” on your PC. Another neat feature is that you can actually conceal (sort of) the PIP image, by selecting sizes that are 1/4, 1/9 or 1/16 of the screen. It also has a 13-channel preview, pause and closed caption features. AVerMedia also says that the TVBox 11 will support industry standard DVI input/output resolution up to 1920x1200 and VGA resolution up to 1280x1024.

The AVerTV Hybrid TVBox 11 is available now for $199.99.
